#WagnerMoura: "I think that preservation of #memory is a very important thing. You know, back in '79, we had [in Brazil] this law called the #AmnestyLaw that basically forgave all the torturers and killers, and people that did despicable things to civilians.
And I think that that was a very, very bad thing for our #collectivememory, or our lack of memory, because these things are things that cannot be forgotten. There are things that cannot be forgiven, you know?"

And I think that #Brazil is finally getting even with that #memoryproblem when we finally sent people that attempted against democracy in Brazil to jail for the first time. So #Bolsonaro himself is now in jail. And I think that this—I hope that this is going to be a new phase for young Brazilians."
